studio tour - part two

November 17, 2015

Welcome back for part two of my studio tour. If you missed part one, you can find it here.

We are continuing on from the desk along the same wall today starting with my art cart. I bought this a couple of years ago at IKEA and love it. I could actually use a couple more around the studio.

It has served many purposes over the years but right now it is set up for art and mixed media. The top shelf is filled with my favorite coloring tools, copic markers, distress pens, paint brushes and lettering pens.

A good deal of my fabric is stored in these cubes and separated mostly by color. The bottom canvas totes hold some of my many unfinished projects. I've tried to label them so when the mood or deadline strikes I sort of know where they are.

These drawers and slots are for paper. Most of it sorted by line or season but it's not perfect. My mini books of paper are stashed in the blue basket up top. The tall thin shelf on the end is full of buttons and other miscellaneous paper stuff.

My embroidery work is kept in this large basket. I love that I can just pick it up and carry it downstairs or even into the car to work on the go.

If you're still with me, there's more...(I know, I have a lot of stuff) be back soon.

Patty,Your studio is looking great, dear friend!!!The farthest shelf with paper would be where I'd spend the most of my time!!!I have a vintage chest of drawers with the three drawers holding my paper separated by color and themes, ink and rubber stamps!!!I'm still with you!!!I'll be watching for Part Three!!!Fondly,Pat

Thanks Patty for sharing your studio. We're just in the process of starting to think about setting ours up and you've given me some great ideas! P.S. I have the same cart from Ikea and know that part of the color scheme will include this piece!
